“No matter how many clients I have, I make sure to call each one personally every quarter. It’s a chance to not only update them on their portfolio, but also check on how they’re doing personally”

Lisa Lang is senior vice president for the National Accounts Casualty team for the Northeast and Southeast regions at Arch Insurance. She leads the growth, strategy, and profitability of the National Accounts Casualty operation for those regions.
She has achieved success by seizing all learning opportunities.
“Throughout the years, some of the most dynamic individuals within the casualty marketplace have mentored me. They have provided me with opportunities that I feel gave me the confidence from a career standpoint and have assisted me in growing as a leader,” she says.
Navigating fluid casualty market conditions is a recurring challenge Lang faces. As competition from insurers increases, her strategy involves staying ahead of the market, which requires continuous creativity, flexibility, and strategic planning. This mindset enables her to be a proactive solutions provider for clients and brokers.
Aside from her technical skills and comprehensive industry knowledge, Lang feels her outstanding quality is being able to lead.
“I provide my team with a clear sense of direction, which gives me the ability to set meaningful goals,” she says. “I understand and value perspectives of others and clearly actively listen and foster open dialogue with my team.”
The core qualities that Lang embodies are:

ELITE WOMEN 2024 JUDGE
• collaboration
• trust
• fostering a strong sense of unity
“I adapt to certain situations by providing flexibility to respond to client’s needs, while also taking responsibility for underwriting decisions and holding others to the same standard,” she says. “Exceeding customer expectations is something I strive to do. I would like to be remembered for the strength of my relationships with my brokers and clients.”
Being named as one of IBA’s Elite Women 2025 is another prestigious honor in Lang’s career.
Recounting her journey in the early days, she comments, “I would not say I encountered structural barriers, but I do not believe I had the confidence early in my career for my voice to be heard. Often, I was the youngest and the only female at the table, and my mentors gave me the confidence to give my opinion.”
This experience has spurred Lang on to not only lead her teams expertly and consistently deliver for clients, but act as a role model for other women in the industry. She is keen to hold herself up as an example for them to follow.
Lang says, “I encourage confidence and share my thoughts on how I overcame challenges while also reinforcing success. It is important to provide mentorship, which I continue to do both internally at Arch and externally, to support women and their career goals.”
Along with producing results, Lang focuses on making a positive impact by inspiring, mentoring, teaching, and supporting others in achieving their goals.
Andrea Larkin is senior vice president, head of financial lines at Westchester, a Chubb Company.
While her rapid rise to such an influential leadership position is impressive, it has not been the linear path that Larkin envisioned. Her plan was to hone her craft as an underwriter and move upward from there.
“I was in the industry only about six months when I experienced my first pivot; I was an A&E underwriter during the real estate crash,” Larkin says. “This obstacle turned opportunity allowed me to diversify, as I was tasked to shift my training and focus to other professional liability product lines. Over time, not only did I become knowledgeable on a myriad of E&O products, but my network – both internally and externally – had expanded materially.”
This was the first of a series of pivots over her two-decade career, some by chance and others intentionally sought.
Larkin says, “Instead of chasing a title, I’ve chased experience. I want to always be a student of the business, continually learning and delivering impact to our clients, trading partners, and the organization. Our industry is dynamic, and I feel that my career has been able to mirror that same spirit.”
As a woman under 40 and part of Westchester’s executive leadership team, Larkin bucks the trend in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
“The opportunity was one I earned over time; however, I received my first executive appointment nine months after delivering twin girls. I’ve always loved my work and I love being a mom. Being entrusted with the responsibility of leading a business while juggling those early days of motherhood is something I am pretty proud of, both personally and professionally,” she says.
Underlining her commitment to being a role model and championing women in the industry, Larkin comments, “Representation matters.”
The fundamental qualities that she relies on daily are:
